SFV Lounge: Ken is high mid. Kage is barely mid. F2P still coming

Watching Bonchan vs. Tokido I see that the best Bonchan can do against air fireball is trade with an uppercut.

Meanwhile this place made it seem like Chun, who does not have a DP, had the advantage whenever Akuma used air fireball the last time the topic came up.

Yeah. Running under the DR and running to the other side of the screen definitely shouldnt avoid it. After all they did spend one bar.

I don’t think I read that conversation, but I’m surprised anyone would use Sagat as a frame of reference for how Chun handles anything.

You are analysing a 5 month old video :slight_smile:
Are we that slow?

Seeing that normal whiff after bonchan got the knock down kind of made me laugh. Why they gotta make normals so stubby in this game lol

Jusr perfectly react to it. Or block it and give up the neutral game bro.

After all bison spent a bar of meter

Git gud bro, he spent a bar

Perfectly balanced

It’s a frame trap button so by design it makes sense to be short ranged. Since there aren’t prox buttons in the game you have prox buttons that are attached to specific normals. They are usually given plus frames so that you can pressure with them when in range. s.MP is not a button Sagat really presses in SF games otherwise any way.

The other type of prox buttons are the stuff like Akuma’s s.MK which are meant for counter poking/whiff punishing and are like the V ism stubby buttons. Which those buttons in both games are some of the best in the game due to ability to spam and frame start up/recovery.

His c.HP is definitely a bit shorter than I’d like it to be for reference of actual ranged moves, but at least they bumped it up a frame.

Falke confirmed dope. Gonna buy her.

She’s honest to a fault but she slows down the game down nicely.

That trade will work in his favor any way long as he has life lead.

Chun doesn’t do great vs air fireball, but she has more options than the dire scenarios people make it out to be. Especially between higher level players.

She controls some of the more dishonest characters in the game pretty well too.

Not a great solo tournament character, but very good counter pick character and beats a lot of the shenanigans other characters kinda have to hold.

Reference from video.

Both of those trades work completely in Sagat’s favor. Even the air fireballs that did hit Bonchan weren’t really that threatening damage wise to Bonchan.

Yeah, she seems like someone you can counterpick. We’re holding a small tourney here and I faced two Dhalsims in a row, that was not fun (I still beat one of them with my day 1 Falke and now I’m in top 8 after a few other guys died to shots and PP too, these guys aren’t very good :V )

Mago is still godlike at 1:00 into the video

I ran into future Bea online. This former Gief Main that’s Ultra Diamond with Falke. I cleaned his ass up because unlike Cody Kolin Vs Falke isn’t 6-4 in her favor hehehehehe

Falke more like Fail

Most impressive display of anti scrubby sfv play I’ve seen in a long time.

You do not sound like you appreciate the fine art of frustrating the living shit out of people with well placed hitboxes.

Why is ken’s tatsu doing like 300 damage?

VT1 air tatsu does 100 damage and appears to be hitting multiple times.

That combo probably drops if Abi ducks at any point.

Me?

I think it’s pure sex. Fuck your dashes. Fuck your block one fireball and the jump. Fuck your aerial bullshit.
